Purpose[edit | edit source]
To test for the presence of subacromial impingement
Tests for Subacromial Impingement[1][2][edit | edit source]
Hawkins-Kennedy: SN: .63 (.39–.86) SP: .62 (.46–.77) +LR: 1.63 (.94–2.81)
- Testing: Shoulder is flexed to 90 degrees and then internally rotated with elbow flexed to 90 degrees.
- Positive Test: Pain with IR.
Neer: SN: .81 (.62–1.0) SP: .54 (.38–.69) +LR: 1.76 (1.17–2.66)
- Testing: Examiner stablizers scapula and flexes shoulder until pain is felt or end of ROM.
- Positive Test: Pain with flexion
Painful arc: SN: .75 (.54–.96) SP: .67 (.52–.81) +LR: 2.25 (1.33–3.81)
- Testing: Shoulder is elevated in scapular plane abduction to full elevation and then lowered in same motion.
- Positive Test: Pain or pain from 60 to 120 degrees scapular plane abduction
Empty can (Jobe): SN: .50 (.26–.75) SP: .87 (.77–.98) +LR: 3.90 (1.50–10.12)
- Testing: Shoulder abducted to 90 degrees and slightly adducted. Shoulder internally rotated and downward force applied.
- Positive Test: Pain or inability to maintain abduction.
External rotation resistance: SN: .56 (.32–.81) SP: .87 (.77–.98) +LR: 4.39 (1.74–11.07) .50
- Testing: Elbow flexed to 90 degrees and adducted to trunk with neutral rotation. Medially directed force applied.
- Positive Test: Pain or weakness
Cross-body adduction test: SN: .23 SP: .82
- Testing: Shoulder is elevated to 90 degrees and adducted across body.
- Positive Test: Pain with adduction
Drop arm sign: SN: .27 SP: .88
- Testing: Shoulder is elevated to full flexion and asked to slowly lower.
- Positive Test: Severe pain or inability to slowly lower.
Clusters[edit | edit source]
If three of the following test are positive: Hawkins-Kennedy, neer, painful arc, empty can, and external rotation resistance then SN: .75 (.54–.96) SP: .74 (.61–.88) +LR: 2.93 (1.60–5.36) -LR: .34 (.14–.80)[1]
If Painfui arc sign, Drop-arm sign, Infraspinatus muscle test positive the +LR: 15.57 of full thickness rotator cuff tear[2]
If Hawkins-Kennedy impingement sign, Painfui arc sign, Infraspinatus muscle test positive then +LR: 10.56 of some type of impingement present[2]
